My radio was stolen recently as it was an old aftermarket radio and my idiocy got the best of me. I left the faceplate on. Anyway I was hoping that someone might know which stock accord OEM radio would fit in my 91 Accord. I found a listing on an auction of a 94 Accord OEM Factory Cassette Radio and I was wondering if this would fit my car. If anyone could post a list of compatibles as well I would be greatly appreciative.

the radio from 90-97 will all fit in there.... i upgraded mine to a 5th gen radio a few years back for more stations and better tape player for my laptop.....
Stiller is correct . . . any of the 90 - 97 factory stereos will work. Most pre-90 units will work too but you'll probably want to avoid them just due to age.
The only thing you should be aware of is if you still have the factory harness in the dash. When the aftermarket radio was put in, did they use an adapter harness? If they did not, you'll need to pick one up to wire the OEM radio in again. If a harness was used, be sure that the jerks didn't rip it out.
Sorry to hear . . . Exact same thing happened to me a few years ago with my 89 LXi. The ONE night I left the face plate on, it was gone.
On a side note, I wanted to keep my 89 Prelude's interior stock. I picked up a 97 head unit from an Accord EX with CD changer controls built in. (Different models from 94 and later had the changer controls built in.) I used an Alpine aftermarket harness and CD changer, mounted it in the trunk, plugged it right into the back of the OEM radio and it works great. An additional power lead is not needed - the adapter harness takes it from the head unit. I still have the 'Lude and the changer. You can at least have CDs without advertising it. Tho mine does not, newer CD changers may even offer MP3 compatibility.

i have to say yes & no on the 90-97 radios. yes the plug/harness will be the same, but being an installer, accord from 90-93 are mounted differently than the 94-97 accords. so if you dont want it to turn into a headache, find a radio that is actually from a 90-93 accord. just look on ebay or a junkyard
